   I have been using fountain pens exclusively for the last two years. I don't identify as an addict or a collector. I can tell you that they are not overhyped. Fountain pens are totally worth it. I never went too high with the price. I

   This is where I am going wrong. I am supposed to sit at the office for 7-8 hours, and then take work home when something is unfinished, and needs ASAP solving, which happens often. I often wonder if this is the wrong company or I am in the

   That makes sense. But I work at a startup with no startup benefits and yet all the negative sides. Once I end a project/make some progress, or even before that, I am handed another project/responsibility. I can barely breathe. Wit

   I really like Veritasium, Jonathan Blow, Lex Fridman, 3blue1brown, code_repory (Conor Hoekstra), Strange Loop, and Steve Brunton.

   Obsidian does the same and much much more. I want to convert handwritten notes to text - smoothly.

   A very smooth, no-BS app that does handwritten text -> Markdown. It should do headings, pictures (as local files), and other kinds of formatting as well.

    For me, my favorites were: 0. "Computational Physics, Beyond the Glass" by Sam Ritchie (Strange Loop 2023) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv2JgzAl5yU - This guy created an interactive Lisp-based Physics visu

    I see you are based in Tennessee. I don't know how to get it there. The best way would be to buy the book through Books of Bengal/ReadBengaliBooks (if you have friends based in India/Bangladesh) or Rokomari/Batighar (Ban

    Fiction: - "The Dark Forest" by Liu Cixin and the whole Three Body Problem/Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy. Truly massive, grand SciFi. Would recommend 10/10. [HN] - "Anna Karenina" by Tolstoy. Made me

    I expected Candide to be not-really-entertaining, but started it for Voltaire's thoughts, opinions, etc. Boy, was I wrong! It was actually funny and entertaining to read, had a great story, too.

    I never got an invite there, and hence stopped trying. Don't know anyone IRL who is already there I guess.

    I used Reddit for many years. I don't remember ever using the "front page". I always used my own feed where I saw content only from the subs that I followed.

    A war criminal. He saw mass murder and genocide along with the rape of tens of thousands of women in East Pakistan in 1970 and not only did nothing he said nothing should be done at all because Pakistan was an US ally. He did it all full on

    What things would be the most fun, most edifying, and most hacky to do with these? Any blog or book recommendations?

    I recently read a really nice short overview of Galois' life. This was in Simon Singh’s book- Fermat's Last Theorem. I highly recommend the whole book as well, as well as his "Code Book".

    Albeit little, installing SML still requires some anount of gymnastics, google searching, and copying stuff from SO, GH Gists, etc. Yes, I agree broadly with the line of thinking that says- if you are learning FP, you must be willing to do
